Written in a jaunty rhyme, this follows the perils that befall young T-Rex when he loses his glasses. He starts seeing double, and his vision is so blurred that he accidentally dons the wrong clothes: his sister's heart-covered undies and his granny's vest. He scrubs down in the toilet rather than the sink. Embarrassment turns to danger when he mistakes a pterosaur for his kite, a brontosaurus for a hill, and a large, menacing dinosaur for his mother. Despite the seeming danger, this is lighthearted and totally silly, and will elicit a good amount of laughter. The short text makes it a natural for a quick read-aloud, and the large format features clear and uncluttered illustrations in a cartoon style, cleverly depicting the action as T-Rex moves from one mishap to another. Although his glasses are (briefly) returned, T-Rex can't seem to hold onto them he escapes his cliff-hanger ending, we may be treated to more misadventures.
